Ahiru no Sora - S01

Basketball's most important asset is height, and Sora Kurumatani has never had it. He has struggled with being short for as long as he has loved the game. Even so, he never let his size decide how well he could play. He believed in giving his all and kept practicing to prove what he could do. Wanting to fulfill his mother's wishes, Sora enrolls at Kuzuryuu High School to join the basketball club and compete in tournaments with everything he has. But he is disappointed to discover that the boys' team is just a hangout for punks who do not care about the sport. He also learns that the Hanazono brothers, Chiaki and Momoharu, whom he gets to know, have lost the drive they once had for playing. Set on bringing the basketball team back to life, Sora challenges the boys to a match, where his quick feet and fast movements overwhelm them. Little by little, moved by Sora's skill, effort, and endless dedication to basketball, the boys find their burned-out love for the game starting to come back.
